Isaiah 34:6

World English Bible Updated

The LORD’s sword is filled with blood.

It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,

with the fat of the kidneys of rams;

for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah,

and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

Isaiah 34:6 in context

Isaiah 34:3–9

3

Their slain will also be cast out,

and the stench of their dead bodies will come up.

The mountains will melt in their blood.

4

All of the army of the sky will be dissolved.

The sky will be rolled up like a scroll,

and all its armies will fade away,

as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.

5

For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky.

Behold, it will come down on Edom,

and on the people of my curse, for judgment.

Selected verse

The LORD’s sword is filled with blood.

It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,

with the fat of the kidneys of rams;

for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah,

and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

7

The wild oxen will come down with them,

and the young bulls with the mighty bulls;

and their land will be drunken with blood,

and their dust made greasy with fat.

8

For the LORD has a day of vengeance,

a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

9

Its streams will be turned into pitch,

its dust into sulfur,

and its land will become burning pitch.
